When you go to Microsoft's site to download patch MS03-026
(W32.Blaster.Worm) under "effected software" it shows:
Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT Terminal Services Edition,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. I have
several servers running Small Business Server and others
running Windows 2000 Server but nothing running Windows
Server 2003. Should I be worried, should I install patch
MS03-026 on a Windows 2000 Server or Small Business
Server? Just want to be safe and don't feel like messing
with this virus.

Thanks.

This one is interesting...

I don't want to beat on you, but:

-You have acknowledged that MS03-026 affects Windows 2000
-You have acknowledged that you have servers with Windows
2000

Should *you* be worried??? I don't know... it seems
pretty clear to me. Just to give you the benefit of the
doubt: What part of the bulleting is not clear to you?

BTW, make sure you are not already infected.

Sorry... is just that this question has been asked so
many times. :-(

Yes you should patch your SBS2000 Server, XP & W2K and any 2003 systems.

As an aside I left my test SVS2000 Server unpatched to see if it would get
infected by the MSBlaster worm.

It has not been infected, so ISA must be doing a good job !

I have still patched all my production Servers and Workstations.
